Zidane the Conqueror: He poses with victims Mourinho, Valverde and Allegri

At a gathering for Europe’s top coaches organised by UEFA, Zinedine Zidaneposed for a photo with Jose Mourinho, Ernesto Valverde and Massimiliano Allegri, each of whom he has beaten with Real Madrid this calendar year.

Allegri could not get the better of Zidane when Juventus met Real in Cardiff’s Champions League final, while Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United fell to defeat in the UEFA Super Cup in Skopje.

Los Blancos also proved too strong for Valverde and Barcelona in their two legs against the Catalans in the Supercopa de Espana, asserting their dominance over their domestic rivals to add to their superiority across the continent.
